Boston is afflicted with scarlet fever in an
unusual way. Last week no less than seventy
eight new cases were reported to the board of
health. There were ffty-one cases the pre-
vious week, and the returns received at the
health Office during the present week indi-
cate that the disease is increasing rather than
diminishing.

ills of life. The Czar of Russia is slo WY re-

There was contested election case in the
Indiana courts which turned on the contro-
vsrsy whether or not students at the State
university at Bloomington were qualified
voters The lower court held that they were,
but the Supreme court has reversed this de-
cision, and holds that a person who is at
tending school in any other county than that
of his residence is not an slector under the
law, and in order to be such must have def
nitely determined to make it the place of his
residence and must be assessed for the pur-
poses of taxation. In some close counties in
Indiana the "student vote'' has been large
enough at times to decide the election. and
this is the first time that the law governing
such cases has been passed upon by the Su-
preme court.
